Summary: Sublime dubstep album
Comment: Probably one of the best dubstep compilations out there at this time.
Caspa and Rusko take you on a journey through some of the less heard of dubstep, with mostly their own tracks, but broken up with the tracks from the likes of such DJs as Cotti and Coki. Saying that it is not strictly dubstep, it does speed up a bit towards the end and the trance and garage influences are very apparent in some of the beginning and end songs.
I have given this 5 stars because not only do i love this album deeply, almost everyone i have played it too has gone on to buy it. The popularity is such that i went to a party last week and the DJ was playing a lot of tracks of this album!
Dubstep Allstars have a good few compilations out, but can be a bit dodgy at times. If in doubt go for this one, you will not regret it!

Summary: Lazy
Comment: As a DJ, to be given this chance to represent a genre to many people who would never have heard it otherwise, would be priceless. But what do Caspa & Rusko do... create a half arsed mix that doesn't really go anywhere. Their mixing is pretty brutal, lots of just slowing down the record, playing some movie line and then next song. Lazy. Even worse is the mix between "look at my eyes" and "fun house"? Are they taking the piss? It's embarrassing. It is evident that they have put no thought into where the mix is heading, or what tracks flow with each other, thus for the main 50 minutes you get slowed down "jump up" DnB with generic British gangster quotes.
As far as track selection goes, they redeem themselves with a few corkers. "Cockney Violin" is a class tune, the steppy grimey sound of "Africa VIP" is tasty and "Beta Max" is quality, shame it's ruined by D1's cheesey "I'm lovin"
It's easy to get excited by a new genre, but if Fabric released a full on hardcore DnB mix it would get slated when there are the likes of the epic Marcus Intalex mix out there.
Dubstep has major potential; hopefully fabric will pick some decent DJs to showcase it in the future.

Comment: I am going to keep this brief
i am a member of Fabric nightclub and get their cds every month sent out in a nice little padded envelope. Never before have i ordered a second copy of one of their releases, it that good.
The past few fabric albums hadnt been the best and I dont usually listen to dub without being in the mood but this album took my breath away. I had listened to the previews on the website and couldnt wait for it. i am only telling you this to illustrate how good the album is.
heavy relentless bass keep the tempo building during the album whilst plenty of variation keeps you anticipating the next track but skipping to it. suprisingly fresh and melodic too.
This effort from caspa and rusko have made me purchase several other albums featuring their remixes and tracks and as i said before...i VERY rarely buy albums
